植物基因工程的主要目标是在常规育种方法不成功的情况下将农艺学上期望的表型性状引入作物植物中。其中一个目标是增强对虫害的抗性，鉴于估计的全球生产损失和保护性处理的高昂成本，这是非常重要的。我们在这里报告的基因编码豇豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂，这已被证明给一些措施的田间抗虫害1，赋予，当转移到烟草，增强抵抗这个物种自己的草食性害虫。
A major goal of plant genetic engineering is the introduction of agronomically desirable phenotypic traits into crop plants in situations where conventional breeding methods have been unsuccessful. One such target is enhanced resistance to insect pests which, in view of the estimated production losses world-wide and the heavy costs of protective treatments, is very important. We report here that a gene encoding a cowpea trypsin inhibitor, which has been shown to give some measure of field resistance to insect pests1, confers, when transferred to tobacco, enhanced resistance to this species' own herbivorous insect pests.
